A change page linked from The Waste Land, Part V, line 433

As originally published Eliot's note for this line was:

Shantih. Repeated as here, a formal ending to an Upanishad. 'The Peace which passeth understanding' is a feeble translation of the content of this word.

It was later changed to:

Shantih. Repeated as here, a formal ending to an Upanishad. 'The Peace which passeth understanding' is our equivalent to this word.
